Global monopoly of technology

Luo Sheng looked at Wang Qiwei who was standing in front of him, and said, “Going boldly and resolutely, all those who have been wandering on the edge of gray in the past, will be thrown away. To reverse the trend of the entire industry, the source of this unhealthy wind must first be brought. Just pinch it off, don’t be timid, what's the matter for the group company to help the WRPO division."

Wang Qiwei nodded and promised again and again. Luo Sheng's words are undoubtedly a powerful booster. The original NeoTV, which hosted the WCG in the domestic division, has the most say. When playing in the divisions, the nerves are tight. Other places are good. , Especially in the capital division.

You don’t dare to provoke some players or teams. In places like the capital, the ghosts know if they are a rich kid or have a background. If they get to the iron plate, they won’t be able to run the game. So in these sub-compartments The qualifiers are all imaginary.

Backed by the Bluestar Technology Group, there are state-owned assets behind this large group, such as Huajin Securities, as well as a large number of foreign capitals. The name Bluestar Technology is the biggest background of the WRPO business unit.

Obviously, this gives Wang Qiwei a lot of confidence in his work. As long as he follows the process, his waist will be tough. No matter which rich second generation you are, you must follow the WRPO specifications.

Luo Sheng didn't ask too much. Then he learned about the investment promotion situation of the WRPO division.

Wang Qiwei said: "Currently, WRPO's research and establishment of profit methods mainly include ticket sales, catering, event surroundings and sponsors."

Hearing that, Luo Sheng nodded and said immediately: “Don’t rush to make a profit. This petty profit can’t support a beautiful performance report. In the next few years, the main focus is on cultivating the market and expanding the market. The shortfall here lies in the company. It's nothing in my eyes, it's not as good as the internet fee paid by a company's website to the operator."

Hearing this, Wang Qiwei couldn't help feeling ashamed. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Moreover, he entered Bluestar Technology not long ago, but he also knows that the company likes to do "long-term" business and likes to invest in the early stage of the harvest.

"Mr. Luo, WRPO has done a good job in attracting investment recently, and it has attracted a lot of sponsors." Wang Qiwei immediately handed out a document to him, and then added: "Samsung Group provided a batch of monitors and a sponsorship worth 5 million US dollars. The sponsorship fee for the first event next year, I believe that the sponsorship fee for the second event will allow them to ask for a higher price. In addition, there is also a German keyboard manufacturer Cherry, which has a sponsorship fee of up to 6.3 million US dollars, a one-year sponsorship."

Wang Qiwei hides a little bit of pride in his words, and he has to say it when he does something. This is the dazzling performance that the WRPO business department can show.

"Can a keyboard manufacturer pay so much sponsorship? Can a keyboard manufacturer be so generous? Cherry company I understand a little bit, the profit of this company should not be high?" Luo Sheng said in surprise.

Of course, this amount of money in his eyes is almost the same as more than 600 yuan, but it is also a real amount of more than 6 million US dollars, which is a bit exaggerated as a sponsorship fee.

And it's just a keyboard manufacturer.

"Yes, in fact, Cherry's performance is not only very bad, but the year is not as good as the year..." Wang Qiwei saw Luo Sheng's curious look, and suddenly recalled the business he discussed with the Germans. This sponsorship was his Personally negotiated, and immediately introduced his record to the big boss.

In fact, Wang Qiwei was able to negotiate this expensive sponsorship cooperation with the Germans because of the word "e-sports" and the bad situation of Cherry itself.

Now the market does not pursue mechanical keyboards, because membrane keyboards with simple structure, good water resistance and low prices have captured almost all of the market share, especially in the thinnest and lightest notebook computers, from the 1990s to the Now, the membrane keyboard has been firmly dominating people's computer desktops.

Such a market environment has forced famous manufacturers like ALPS and NEC to abandon mechanical keyboards one after another. Only Cherry, which invented the MX axis, retained the mechanical keyboard business.

But it was also dying.

Wang Qiwei relied on his strong business ability to negotiate with the Germans, and clearly told Cherry that only WRPO can save their mechanical keyboard business, because WRPO has their goddess of luck-e-sports.

And Luo Sheng, who has the memory of the previous life, knows that the mechanical keyboard business can fight against the market and surpass it, relying on the vigorous development of the e-sports industry, but to his surprise, Wang Qiwei can also have such a vision, which makes him quite As an accident.

Sure enough, there are capable people everywhere in this world. It depends on whether you can meet Bo Le.

Wang Qiwei said eloquently: "I don’t know if Mr. Luo, do you see the third-view operation of interstellar pro players. For these professional e-sports players with swift movements and incredibly fast operations, they cannot possibly need a membrane keyboard anyway. Moreover, membrane keyboards are not durable and can only be used millions of times, while the life of the shaft of a mechanical keyboard can reach more than 50 million operations."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "It makes sense that e-sports players, especially star players, have the ability to efficiently carry goods. The temptation for game otaku is no less than a woman's obsession with lipstick calls."

"Mr. Luo really sees the fire, in a word." Wang Qiwei seized the opportunity to decisively incarnate "Wang Liwei" and licked a wave and then said, after going with the flow and patting the horse, he said: "My idea is to follow Cherry cooperated to strive for the packaging of mechanical keyboards from pure electronic devices to a youth subculture."

Speaking of this, Wang Qiwei can’t help but add with a smile: “After all, the majority of e-sports players are novices, but they all have the heart of becoming a master. In addition to having a good hand feel, the most important thing is that an expensive mechanical keyboard The most important thing is that a rookie player will inexplicably have the self-illusion of becoming an e-sports master."

Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing and saying: "Why is it possible? Quite thoughtful planning, very imaginative. But the key lies in e-sports players, who have a strong ability to carry goods are e-sports players, especially star players. If I’m the owner of Cherry, so I won’t find you WRPO, but directly sponsor star players, which will be more cost-effective."

Wang Qiwei said immediately: "You can rest assured that President Luo, the alliance of WRPO, players and clubs registered under this system have a mutual agreement, part of the commercial value development is discussed by the WRPO business department, and finally between WRPO and clubs and players Divide."

In fact, if you expand your focus from a single player to a club, or even the entire WRPO system, its income is definitely not limited to advertising or endorsements.

Like most professional leagues in traditional sports, there are many ways for a team or club to make money, including broadcasting, tickets, advertising, media cooperation under the full WRPO system, and multiple income from peripheral products such as clothing, drinks, and sponsorship. .

Although the proportion is small, but the profit point is high, is he not good when he finally calculates the ledger?

Building such an ecosystem is by no means overnight, and the initial investment is definitely large, there is no doubt about the continuous deficit, and the specific effect depends on the quality of the first event, whether it can be recognized by the sponsor, etc.

To put it bluntly, it depends on the market influence of the new WRPO brand.

The domestic market is now the smallest, such as broadcasting, but like South Korea, there must be broadcasting fees. South Korea’s e-sports industry is at the forefront of the world, like the famous Korean interstellar player "Boxer", which was also the birth of the SKT1 club. One of the creators, his influence in Korea is higher than that of the local first-line film and television music superstars.

All this shows the commercial potential of e-sports. The influence of e-sports players is no less than that of first-line superstars or national athletes.

At least in this place in Korea.

Luo Sheng will not doubt the experience of two lives. He knows better than anyone in this world how prosperous the e-sports industry will be in the next ten years, and how broad the influence will be, especially thirty years later.

Luo Sheng didn't stay in the WRPO business department for too long. He got a general understanding of the situation and left after ordering some affairs.

As the founder of Bluestar Technology Group and Blue Coast Company, in charge of these two companies, Luo Sheng will not be long even if he has a relaxing time.

No, as Sioux City's data center is completed and put into use, the development of artificial intelligence also has a preliminary foundation that can be put on the agenda.

Luo Sheng wanted to develop artificial intelligence a long time ago, but due to the current environment, the hardware foundation cannot be established. Big data centers are one of the infrastructures for developing artificial intelligence.

The development of artificial intelligence is a big project, and the current hardware infrastructure is still not enough and has to be continuously upgraded.

But at least you can put up the frame
